Bib and whiting had the highest concentrations of PCBs: 810 - 3200 ng/g and 780 - 3100 ng/g respectively. Shrimp probably had these lower concentrations because of their lower fat content (0,6% compared to 50% for bib) and their more pelagic life style. Shrimp live slightly above the seabed, which results in them having less contact with the sediment, than the other species in this study. Furthermore, shrimp occupy a lower trophic level (they eat opossum shrimp and amphipods) than most other species of the study. Crabs had a higher PCB content, because as scavengers, they eat much decaying organic material, which can be heavily polluted.</div></td></tr>
